Trees Against the Wind brings to life the inspiration, the people, the science, the business and the politics behind prairie shelterbelts. This enlightening history is a tribute the thousands of innovative prairie farmers who planted trees to shelter their homes and land, and to Norman M. Ross, Chief of the Tree Planters, who, from 1901 to 1941, shaped, promoted and fought for the program that ultimately distributed over 600 million trees to western Canadian farmers. Complemented by over 130 archival photos and maps, this 288- page publication provides an important and captivating perspective on prairie history and a heightened appreciation for the connection between people and trees on the prairies.
